Fuji Grand SE
Anyone have any idea how to obtain some background on the Fuji Grand SE 12 speed? I just picked one up and I assume it is from around the early 80's but have been unable to learn anything about this particular model.

Fuji info
Hi,
I've contacted Fuji a number of times about older Fujis - I have three 67.5cm biggies. They all have "made in Japan" rivited to the head tube. The Fuji reply was that they did not have data on Fujis from the late 1970s to the early 1980s - sorry. If you take a peek at my website, I have some good poop on Ishiwata. You might take a look at your steer tube - yeah, you gotta take it apart, a little - and see if Ishiwata is stamped on the steer tube. If yes, you got a good one!

Bikes: Still have a few left!
I have one in the corner of my garage, waiting to be overhauled. Only know it has a Chrome Moly frame. Got it at the GoodWill for $9.95 & it has a set of blumels fenders and a rear rack on it, it would have been priced higher but somebody had put a "neighborhood Watch" sticker over the Chrome Moly decal

Do you have an image of the decal?
I don't remember "chromoly" decals on Fujis in the Ishiwata era.
Maybe yours is a more contemporary Fuji - Tange era?
